通过文献资料法,以太极拳对慢性非特异性腰背痛(Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain,CNLBP)的康复功能为研究对象来检索国内外相关文献,主要从太极拳康复CNLBP方面的研究、CNLBP康复运动处方制定原则、太极拳康复CNLBP运动处方制定可行...通过文献资料法,以太极拳对慢性非特异性腰背痛(Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain,CNLBP)的康复功能为研究对象来检索国内外相关文献,主要从太极拳康复CNLBP方面的研究、CNLBP康复运动处方制定原则、太极拳康复CNLBP运动处方制定可行性分析三方面进行研究,试以太极拳“阴阳和谐”理念、运动技术特点、脊柱生物力学特征三点来分析太极拳作为CNLBP康复运动处方的依据,从而证明太极拳似乎是比较适合CNLBP患者康复的运动疗法。相比其它运动疗法,太极拳是在患者所能承受的自身和外界影响因素范围内,帮助患者树立健康的生活理念,主动参与到锻炼活动中去。通过安全有效的太极拳运动练习,矫正脊柱形态、增加脊柱活动度、提升脊柱稳定性,从而减轻腰背部生理疼痛感,达到心理和身体的两者的双重统一,帮助患者重新回归健康生活。展开更多
